Instructions
- Slice the sweet potatoes (you can use a mandolin cutter if you have) and arrange them in a greased dish.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the butter in small chunks and scatter them over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs or dried herbs over the potato slices.
- Put the dish in the microwave and cover it with a microwave plate cover. Cook the potatoes for 10 minutes at high (180° C/ 356° F).
- After 10 minutes, the potatoes are almost fully cooked.
- Then take the dish out and pour the cream over the sweet potatoes. It should cover ⅓ deep of the Gratin.
- Put the dish back in the microwave and cook further for about 7-10 minutes until the cream thickened and sweet potatoes thoroughly cooked.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Try to slice the potatoes at the same thickness. I normally aim to cut in 0.08 in/ 2 mm thick.
- When it comes to cooking, it's best to experiment with the ingredients according to your taste. Things like herbs can be experimental and personal. So, choose the herbs that you like, or don't use herbs at all if you don't like them. Just challenge your own taste bud and use the recipe as your guidance.
- As I explained above, this microwave sweet potato Gratin is nice as a side dish for your roast menu. But it's delicious to eat it on its own.
